MOVIES

I've been better about making it to the movies, and have actually seen some stuff that is current.

Iron Man 2008 by Paramount Pictures

Great flick.

Wanted 2008 by Universal Pictures

Based on a Top Cow graphic novel, pretty cool.

The Happening 2008 by 20th Century Fox

Um, I take criticism pretty hard, so I generally don't dish it out, but, wow...

Kung Fu Panda 2008 by Dreamworks

I confess, I loved it.

TELEVISION

Not watching a lot of television now.

I've always been a fan of The Simpsonsand almost everything that's on Cartoon Network.  Adult Swim was tailor-made for me. I'm still watching a lot of mindless stuff, mostly animated or cartoons.

Back at the Barnyard on Nickelodeon.

I have no idea why I find this show so funny.

Two and a Half Men on CBS.

I NEVER watch sitcoms, but somehow I started watching this on reruns and got hooked. Great writing, great acting.

Twilight Zone on SciFi.

I started watching the marathon on July 4th, and have kept watching the shows. (Thank god for DVRs, it's on at 2:30 in the morning). It's easy to see the effect this show had on popular culture

The Closer on TNT.

Intelligent crime drama.

SpongeBob Squarepants on Nickelodeon

Yeah, I admit it. I'm still watching this show, even the endless reruns. It has amazingly sophisticated humor. My favorite line? "Spongebob! That's a 4/4 string ostinata in D minor! Every sailor knows that means death!"

If you think there's something on that's worthwhile, let me know at khawkins@bloodlegacy.com 

VIDEO GAMES

I have decided that video games are not a waste of time, but rather excellent therapy...

Ninja Gaidan II by Tecmo, Xbox 360

Loved the first one, loving the second.

Viva Pinata by Rare Ltd., Xbox 360

Do I have eclectic tastes or what?

Mario Kart Wii by Ninteno, Wii

Fun to play with my family.

Monster Hunter Freedom 2 by Capcom PSP

Addictive little game.
